I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Netflix (Los Gatos, CA)
Interview
My interaction with the recruiter was excellent! I felt well-prepared, and the recruiter was responsive. However, everything fell apart in my meeting with the hiring manager. She was 15 minutes late and wasted another 10 minutes going over her org chart. It became apparent that this person's understanding of product management was narrowly scoped to her experience at Netflix. She was condescending in her responses and disregarded my experience as "just project management."
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Netflix (Los Angeles, CA) in Jun 2021
Interview
Tough, lengthly, they will know your skill set in the first round, team mates will interview you as well with the hiring manager. Tough place to work. High performers only
I went through the entire interview cycle. The interview process consisted of 4 stages: (1) Recruiter screening call (2) a video call with the hiring manager (3) a virtual on-site with a product director, product manager, design manager, engineering manager, and data scientist. (4a.) a 45-minute interview with the entire interview panel, in which you give a 15-minute presentation and then are asked questions about it. There's a second written assignment at this stage, which you should also expect questions on. (4b.) The last interview is with the recruiter, in which you discuss the company culture.
My overall experience was decent. The recruiters were polite and attentive. However, the team did push out my virtual on-site an entire week, a day before it was supposed to take place.
